Seventeen original stories about a mall where anything you can imagine is for sale-but who will pay the price? The stores in Enchantment Place live up to the title, catering to a rather unique clientele ranging from vampires and werecreatures to wizards and witches, elves and unicorns' in short, anyone with shopping needs not likely to be met in the chain stores. Here are seventeen shopping trips you'll never forget, from a store that sells the highest quality familiars, to the non-magical daughter of a magic-filled family who is left to mind the family jewelry store though she has no means to defeat an enchanting thief, to a woman running a Wiccan supply store who is suddenly faced with an IRS audit?… (plus d'informations)
Fluffy goodness, a series of stories all set (to some extent) in a mall that caters to magical clientele. There were a couple of duds, but largely the stories were fun. I would be very happy to see some of them expanded into novels. ( )
A good set of stories, many of which had at least some interconnections (and the others would have benefited from such). The stories were all pretty good, with some fun twists. My inner 8-year-old found "The Poop Thief" amusing and also- sort-of- plausible, though this was not the tone of the book as a whole (but it was a very fun last story!). ( )
I like short stories as a rule. I really like a well-written short story. The premise of this anthology is fantastic - from the cover, "the mall where vampires, were-creatures, sorcerers, witches, elves, and other fey beings go to shop". How much fun does that sound?
Unfortunately, most of the stories fall a little flat. I think a lot of them could have been great fun if they'd been fleshed out more, but as it is they mostly seem rushed or like there are missing pieces. My favorites are the companion stories "Out of the Frying Pan..." by Diane Duane and "...And into the Fire" by Peter Morwood. ( )
